Pasadena Mayor Terry Tornek announced that a coalition of the world’s leading space science and astronomical institutions based in Pasadena are partnering with the City of Pasadena to produce Astronomy Week, October 16-22, 2016.

Innovate Pasadena gives voice to the thinkers, inventors, and educators who make Pasadena great. During Connect Week we showcase the creativity and ingenuity that’s right here in our own backyard. We invite entrepreneurs, engineers, investors, scientists, educators, business people, designers, and students to unite and strengthen Pasadena’s innovation community through education and resource exchange.

The Local Group Astronomy Club of Santa Clarita, California has been providing educational outreach programs to schools, Scouts and the community since 1984. An estimated 6,000 children and adults look through our telescopes annually, many of whom are observing for the first time.

At the Pasadena Unified School District, we believe that every child can learn and succeed in the 21st century. PUSD students are prepared to be critical thinkers, creative problem-solvers and strong communicators.

Themed learning options are available for every age K-12 age group in dual language immersion; science, technology, engineering and math; and the visual and performing arts.
